Burnt Orange Highball Recipes

VODKA HIGHBALL

Steps:

• Fill a highball glass with ice.
• Pour in the vodka and stir several times. Pour the tonic water onto a bar spoon into the glass (to increase the bubbles).
• Squeeze in the juice from 1 lemon wedge and 1 lime wedge. Add the squeezed wedges into the drink, then add another lime wedge to the glass as a garnish.

BURNT ORANGES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place oranges cut-side up on a plate and sprinkle rosemary on top, pressing it into oranges so it adheres. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
• On a grill or stovetop, put a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on surface. Spread remaining 1/4 cup sugar in skillet and when it starts to caramelize place oranges, cut-side down, on sugar. Let cook for 3 to 4 minutes, not moving oranges, so cut side burns nicely and oranges soften.
• To serve, place 2 orange halves in bowl with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and drizzle with burnt sugar juices from skillet.

BURNT-ORANGE HIGHBALL

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add Truvia, vodka, orange liqueur, and orange juice; shake to combine.
• Hold a lit match over an empty highball glass and squeeze the zest, skin side down, over the match. The oil from the zest should ignite and fall into glass. Wrap zest around a skewer or a toothpick; set aside.
• Fill glass with ice, strain cocktail into glass. Garnish with skewered zest.
